    Kessler honored Ward and fought him in Oakland eventhough Kessler was the champion.

    So I guess this mean Ward needs to ASAP meet Kessler in Copenhagen?

    Should they rematch, its only fair Ward comes to Denmark.

    I read the other day, that Frochs manager stated that Kessler should be willing to accept that he would be paid less than Froch in this matchup because Froch is the champion.
    I dont really know about that one... To me a 50-50 split sounds fair when held in Nottingham. Could be a negotiation hurdle...

    Otherwise Froch could return to Denmark and get the 60-40 split.

    In the end Froch needs Kessler more than the other way around legacy-wise!

    Yes, fair, but everyone knows Ward couldn't give a **** about what's fair.

    No matter who wins, as I'm really know sure who the winner will be, then it will be a great match for sure, like their last one, which was an instant classic war.

    Haven't Ward and Hunter talked about fighting Kessler in Denmark on more than one occasion?

    Judge him on what he does, not what he says.

    He calls himsef Son of God, but uses head buts and holding more than anyone is boxing

    Then I judge him as the very best SMW and possibly a top 5 P4P.

    Hes a walking contradiction thats for sure

    One of the p4p best boxers around today...... BUT..... so unwilling to step out of Oakland, unwilling to face Bute, unwilling to step up to 175 for a Dawson fight

    Glass balls?

    He is a good fighter of course. But how much would still be there if he had taken chances to go abroad like for example Froch and Kessler... who knows?

    Kessler should have fought Stieglitz for the wbo. Then Froch for the ibf, and then lure Ward to Denmark for an unfication fight...

    reason Froch went to Denmark was because it was in the contract.
